2By Sa AndrewDon’t miss the last hundred pages. Because that’s where the fast paced action starts. That was why I finished the book too. I was about to stop reading because of the slow paced writing and a bit of a brief and nonrealistic writings on the Dauntless trainings. (The part where they had the knives throwing got me.) Although the book was good, I cringe at the narration on the description of Tobias by Beatrice.😂 For the positive review, I really love the where Beatrice and her mother’s resolved well, finding out she’s a divergent too. I also loved how they presented the moral struggle of Beatrice, which can be complicated and considered an inner struggle, with factions that represented different character identity. But on the side note, all these factions and their motives only fixed well with Beatrice’s long standing struggle as a Divergent in the end before she met her mother for the last time.Oh heck yeah!
